FIRST ANNUAL REPORTOF THEFREDERICK DOUGLASS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL."Men do less than they ought, unless they do all they can"On the 25th day of June, 1895, a number of citizens met for the purpose of considering plans for the establishment of Training School for Nurses. It was plainly seen that, in order to carry out this idea, it it would be necessary to establish and equip a hospital. The fact was brought out that, while there is a number of such institutions in our community, they are not enough to supply the demand of those who wish to be trained in this branch of knowledge. It was also shown that there is a persistent effort on the part of every institution save, possibly, one (the Training School of the Philadelphia Hospital) to exclude colored persons from training. It has been believed for a long time that colored persons are, by nature, specially fitted for the care of the sufferer, so much so that before schools for training were established, they had a monopoly of this work, and especially in the Southern States. It was, therefore, felt to be an obligation to prepare our young people to complete with others in this new and advanced form of education.

Acting on this belief, the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School for Nurses was established. The building, No. 1512 Lombard street, was leased for two years, and has been altered to suit the purposes intended. It is a three story building, well lighted and ventilated and has, in a measure, answered the purposes of a hospital, although sadly deficient in the needed accommodation for nurses, the training of whom will be one of the features of the Institution.

The Opening Day exercises were held at Zion Wesley Church, 15th and Lombard Streets the late Rev. R. Heywood Stitt, Pastor, on the evening of October 31st, 1895. An enthusiastic audience was in attendance, and with a faithful Board of Management a number of Auxiliary societies formed of ladies interested in the work and the appreciation of the public, the enterprise has gone forward with the hope, prayers and belief of its promoters that it will be crowned with success.

A year has passed and we pause to glance backward over our labors. The interest shown from the beginning by those entering upon the work of the different departments has not abated. The Board of Managers has been wise and conservative in all its actions, and the liberality with which its members contributed to meet the rent of the building for the first year, together with their unremitting personal service, attest unmistakably their devotion to the cause. The Ladies Auxiliaries have been continuous in their efforts, showing the same zeal at the 000610close at the beginning of the year. The raising of the amount necessary to make the needed alterations and to furnish the building is due to their labors.

The eminent success of the first entertainment for the benefit of the Hospital, the amount received from the board of the patients, with other subscriptions, have not been sufficient to meet the current expenses, leaving a small balance against the Institution as the Auditing Committee's Report will show.

Our pharmacist has been careful and faithful in the administration of his department, thereby gaining the confidence of the public. He has also acted as Secretary for the year.

The collector appointed for the year has proved energetic in her labors, and has gained friends in many quarters who have given liberally of their means and influence to the Hospital.

The Solicitor has given us invaluable aid and counsel, and has thus contributed in no small degree to the general development of the enterprise.

The Management feel grateful to the Chief of the Staff, to whom too much credit cannot be given for his personal sacrifice and untiring devotion, shown both as the organizer and developer of their ideal of such an institution.

The churches and societies have laid us under indebtedness by their helpful notices and contributions.

Zion Wesley A.M.E. Church has established the first free bed, and it is to be hoped that her example will be followed by others.

The resident Doctors and Head Nurse, Miss S. Gertrude Patterson, have proved efficient and have aided greatly in maintaining the high character of the work done. The student nurses, now in training, have shown obedience and teachableness, and have given complete satisfaction in the most exacting families where they have served. And, in short, the friends of the Hospital throughout the city have shown appreciation and interest by donations of supplies and in other ways.

The purchase of the Memorial Tablet to the memory of Hon. Frederick Douglass, and the placing of the same on the walls, has served to increase the interest in the work as did also the distribution of the photographs of the same as souvenirs to contributors.

The complimentary reception to the Ladies' Auxiliaries, the Mid-Summer Fete and other entertainments have increased the interest.

The needs of the work are a larger number of life and annual subscribers, and free beds that will enable us to fill the demands of an ambulance service. We desire also that our wealthy friends should be assured of a successful future and, by giving now, to encourage others to remember the Institution when they are making gifts and bequests.

Representatives of the State Board of Charities have visited the Institution and approved of it, and upon the matter being places before the whole Board it met with their unanimous endorsement, and they have recommended that the Legislature give to the Institution twenty-five dollars for building purposes, and twenty-five hundred dollars annualy for maintenance.

The Presidents of the Ladies' Auxiliary Associations have all remained with us during the year, and are still willing to serve such a good cause. The Associations 000711have been reorganized and are now ready for more extended work. We hope our friends will help them in every possible way, and in so doing merit and receive from the Master the assurance that "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye did it unto me."

In closing our First Annual Report, we desire to express our thanks to our many friends for their generosity and interest in the Hospital, feeling that we will be divinely sustained in the future as in the past.

TO THE BOARD OF MANAGERS:--It has now been a little more than one year since we organized. Since I presented to you a plan for the organization of a Hospital and a Training School for Nurses, I have been gratified with your hearty response. Now that we have completed a year's work, the character of which will show for itself, and having received the approval of a critical but a generous public, we have just reasons for congratulations.

As Chief of the Staff I fully appreciate the responsibility of directing the Medical Departments of this Institution. I am determined to make the character of service all that it should be; to accomplish this the Institution must have the generous support of the public and Board of Managers, who are equally responsible.

Those who place their lives in our hands, be they ever so poor, must have the advantage in their treatment of the most approved methods that modern science and investigation have put at our disposal. It is hoped, therefore, that the time is not far distant when generous support will be given, so that every facility may be added to make the Institution all that it should be.

The character of service the Institution has received from the attending staff has been very gratifying. I also wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Consulting Staff; they have courteously responded to all calls made upon them.

In order to facilitate Nurse Training, and to extend the usefulness of the Institution, we permit all physicians to place their patients in the Hospital and attend them while there--except in operative cases--the Hospital reserves the right to use discretion as to the operator. In the operative cases we have had no deaths. Of the five deaths which have occurred in the house, one a case of mitral disease was moribund when received, another a case of puerpural septicemia came from a neighboring hospital and had been pronounced incurable, the third a case of tubercular phthisis, the fourth and fifth cases of uraemia, one of the latter was associated with malignant growths, the other followed a Caesarean section, the operation having been very gratifying.

So far as our means would allow we have extended the advantages of the Hospital to all who have applied, and we have considered this our duty rather than to have selected favorable cases only, such as promised a small death rate.

The medical cases in the wards have been such as Sciatica, Hysteria, Phthisis, Nephrites, Asthma, Typhoid Fever, Articular Rheumatism, Senile Debility, Simple Anemia, Mitral Stenosis Maleria, Inflammatory Rheumatism, etc., etc.

The Out Patient Department.--The out patients have aggregated something over nine huncdred. This number does not include return visits, which range from one to sixty-two. The whole number of visits made to the department during the year will amount to twenty-five hundred and nineteen.

The report of the Training School for Nurses is given elsewhere. It is due those in training that I should say they have given satisfaction. They are courteous, attentive and kind. Miss S.G. Patterson, the Head Nurse, is managing the department with skill. Doctors and patients in the Hospital, and in private cases where our nurses have gone, speak in the highest terms of their efficiency.N.F. MOSSELL, Chief of Staff.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.The Training School was organized at the beginning of the year with the Hospital. Young women of acceptable age and acquirements will be admitted yearly without distinction of race. We call attention to this latter fact because we want our friends and the public to know that most of the training schools in the city exclude colored women from training. If there were no other reasons it seems to us that this alone furnishes the strongest sort of argument in favor of the maintenance of this charity.

The number of applications received has been fifty-eight; of these only six were admitted. Our present facilities will not admit of a larger class. Of this number two have proven unsatisfactory.

We now have three nurses in the senior course; one of whom is a graduate from the Freedman's Hospital Training School.

Having such a large number of applicants from which to select, we have been able to secure nurses far above the average in capacity and intelligence; and we bespeak for them a bright future.

Ninety-six visits have been made to outside patients by our nurses.

The physician of the present day feels more and more the need of competent nurses, to make the care of the sick a success. They have been hampered in the past by poor nursing, but it becomes more evident daily to the profession, that more than medicine, improved instruments, or any other aid to the work is a careful conscientious nurse.

We need the interest and assistance of the community in which we live and also the adjacent States. If private families will, according to their means, employ our nurses, thereby increasing their opportunities for bedside practice, while in training, they will greatly facilitate our work.

One year ago this work was begun in a hopeful spirit. It has gradually developed as the months rolled by, and has proved for itself the helpful factor it can be made in the life of the community in which it has been placed. What a comfort it may become to the exhausted wife or mother, or to the almost distracted father trying vainly to save the life of some loved one!

Among the needs of this department of our work is a domicile where the nurses, while in training, shall be comfortably housed while off duty, and where they may take the proper rest and recreation and feel entirely free from care.

Now that we have completed one year's work our student nurses in the senior course are prepared to visit and take charge of outside cases, at moderate rates.

We hope that the time is not far distant when the Hospital will be so enlarged that greater facilities for the training of nurses can be offered. We confidently believe that our colored young women have special adaptability for this class of work; that their suave and kindly demeanor will place them in the front ranks in this class of professional service.

RULES GOVERNING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.The Board of Managers give their approval of the following rules: The School will give a two (2) years course to women desirous of becoming professional nurses. Those wishing to obtain the course must make application to the Head Nurse. The Head Nurse will refer all applications to the Committee on Training School, and when the Head Nurse and Training School Committee have approved of an applicant she shall be received in the School for one month on probation. The school reserves the right, however, in doubtful cases, of extending the term of probation. This is to be determined by the Head Nurse in consultation with the Training School Committee. Each applicant must send in addition to answers, on inclosed paper of questions, a letter from a clergyman testifying to her good moral character, and a certificate from a physician stating that she is in sound health. Applicants are received at any time during the year when there is a vacancy.

Applicants must be prepared to pass a satisfactory examination in reading, penmanship, simple arithmetic and English dictation. The Head Nurse, after conference with the Training School Committee, has full power to decide as to the fitness of a nurse for the work, and as to the propriety of retaining or dismissing her at the end of the month of trial, and in the same manner the Head Nurse is empowered to discharge a nurse at any time in case of misconduct or inefficiency. Those who prove satisfactory will be accepted as pupil nurses, after signing an agreement to remain two (2) years, and to obey the rules of the School and Hospital.

RESIDENT AND ATTENDING NURSES.The fact that our present building is comparatively small will make it impossible to domicile but a limited number of nurses. We are anxious, however, to extend the advantages of the Institution to a much larger number, known as attending nurses, who will reside outside of the building and will be required to pay their own lodgings. All nurses serve for the first year as assistants, the second year they will be expected to perform any duty assigned them by the Head Nurse, either to act as nurse in the Hospital or to be sent to private cases among the rich or poor.

In addition to their board, the nurses will be provided with a uniform, consisting of dresses, aprons and sleeves. They are required, after the month of probation, when on duty, to wear the dress prescribed by the Institution, which is of blue and white gingham, simply made, white apron, cap and sleeves, each nurse will find her own caps.

The day nurses are on duty from 7 A.M. to 8.30 P.M., with half hour off for dinner, and two hours additional time for exercise and rest when possible. They are also given an afternoon during the week, and have four hours every Sunday. A vacation of two weeks is allowed each year. Punctuality, personal neatness, general order, a gentle voice and manner, and a patient temper, are essential in a good nurse.

In sickness all pupils will be cared for gratuitously, either in the Nurses' Home or in the Hospital, for such time as the Board may decide; but time so lost must be made up if over two weeks of each year.
